I have been experimenting with my options for playing along to a click, and think a change in the tap tempo button color on beat X (or Y or Z) could be useful. I have tried IEM's (in one ear and in both ears), but I do not like being so disconnected from the sound of the room and the other elements around me. I have tried using the click in my monitors (but not sent to the PA), but I get some bleed into my percussion and vocal mics, so I don't like that option either. I don't know that the visual tempo will work for me for this particular need without trying it, but I believe it would be a useful feature none the less on the FC6 and FC12.
So per the FC manual "The Tap Tempo function flashes the tempo on the footswitch LED ring.". The concept I am wishing for is, being able to set the LED ring color change every 4 beats, or every two beats, or whatever the user decides. This would allow me to see when the beginning of the measure is. As it currently stands, the tempo is there, but I don't know where the "one" is in that measure. So I would like for example, a red LED ring for the first beat, and green for each of the 3 beats thereafter (if in 4/4 time), then back to red on the one and on to the green for the next 3, etc.
The two elements that you would be assigning for the tap tempo switch are the LED ring colors (could be a selection of up to say 4 colors so you could indicate each beat in a 4/4 measure with a different color) and the frequency of that color (every 1st beat, make red, every other beat make green or every 1st beat red, every second beat orange every third beat yellow and every fourth beat green).
I know the FAS team has a lot of "wishes" that we put out there, and the fact that they give any of it to use at no charge is incredible and very much appreciated! This is one of my wishes ;~))
